The United Center in Chicago hosts a special 4th of July event, which opens up with Wayne Mesmer signing the American national anthem. He gets about halfway through when, just like a few days ago up north when someone in Canada did theirs, he gets interrupted by the theme for the new World Heavyweight Champion, The Supernova of Superstars, Rob Rage. The champ comes out carrying a flag with his Tyrannosaurus Flex logo on it. This does not go over well with the locals, which Jim Ross calls Rage new most hated man in America. Don Callis points out that at least Rage doesn’t discriminate, interrupting Canada’s anthem a few days ago as well. Rage calls for the stick and informs the crowd that when he pulled into town earlier today, at first he was glad to see the patriotism the people displayed. But as the minutes went on he saw everything that is wrong with America by 11:30. He rips into the locals in typical Rage fashion, but mentions the smell of this place somehow has gotten worse since the last time he was here. He now understands why Chicago is called the windy city, and believe him that’s not something to be proud of. He further eggs them on by saying if you were to give the US an enema, you’d stick the hose in downtown Chicago. He does inform them however that as the their new world heavyweight champion, he offers the people a chance to turn their backs on the land that is no longer free, and move to the Utopia…the Utopia of Rage. Rage continues for a bit longer until he is interrupted by Chris Jericho. Jericho hits the stage and tells Rage to ‘Shut the hell up.” Jericho tells Rage that the new champ comes to the ring interrupting not one, but two national anthems this week, and talks about a forming a utopia. Jericho has a better idea for the people, who would like to see tonight’s main event happen right now? It’s unanimous, and Rage is willing to go as well. Jericho hits the ring, referee Amy Kanazki is ringside, she too enters and calls for the bell, it’s on. World Heavyweight Championship Rob Rage (c) vs Chris Jericho Rage manages to get the upperhand and looks to take Jericho’s head off with the belt. He swings, Jericho avoids the contact and counters with a codebreaker and a lionsault. Jericho with the cover, Rage kicks out, but not in time according to the referee, Jericho wins the championship. Rage realizes and looks like he might kill the referee, but she and Jericho quickly leave the ring. Rage kicks the ropes in frustration as the new champion has his arm raised. This draws out Eric Bischoff, and he is not happy with what just went down. He agrees with Rage on one thing, that Americans have a tendency of being impatient and trigger happy, which is something these people share with both Rage and Jericho. Since the scheduled main event just happened Bischoff now has to come up with a new main event, and he has an idea. The main event will now be a 10 man battle royal, and Chris Jericho will be one of the competitors. Rage demands to be in the battle royal as well. Bischoff states this counts as his rematch, but he won’t be the only challenger. It sounds like Bischoff is doing this on the fly as he confirms also in the match will be Jack Swagger, Brian Kendrick, Alex Shelley, Goldust, Akuma, Damien Sandow, D-Von Dudley, and Heath Slater. Bischoff tells both Jericho and Rage to get out of his sight in the mean time. Bischoff’s not a happy camper, but it looks like he managed to make a good replacement main event at the last minute. Outside of the arena is Hutch Henries, alongside Ironman Champion Chuck Taylor. As we heard a few days ago, Chuck Taylor promised to defend his title in what has become a 4th of July tradition, a hot dog eating contest. Hutch informs us that a handful challengers have come forward. Sami Zayn is the first challenger. Also taking part is Jeff Hardy, Kevin Steen, Veda Scott, Rusev, and Jeremy Dunn. Jim Cornette is hyping Dunn up for this one like it were an in-ring match, which Hutch Henries looks to get a few words from Cornette. Cornette admits competitive eating is strange to him, however it doesn’t matter if it’s wrestling or competitive eating, he’s the manager of champions and, gesturing towards Jeremy Dunn, he’ll soon be the first man in history to be a champion of both. He then mentions the competitors, not saying much about Chuck Taylor other than he heard rumours that Emma Matthews is a better fit for this sort of contest than he is, which Hutch gets the joke. Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy looks like they can pack a few, he doesn’t dare comment on how he thinks Veda Scott will do, but he puts over the size of Rusev, and states how on paper and event like this would favour men with his figure. In case if anyone’s forgotten, Cornette use to manage one of the heaviest world champions of all time back in the day, and what everyone is about to consume would be an appetizer to him. However he knows the big men of this, while not a sport, a spectacle that’s difficult to look away from, are at a disadvantage, and the secrets he learned during his time managing the late Yokozuna he passed down to his team’s representative, and he will literally out eat the competition. That’s still to come later tonight as the show takes its first commercial break of the evening. When the show returns Jim Ross and Don Callis comment about what we’ve seen so far. Jericho becoming the new champion, yet he has to defend his newly won championship in a battle royal. Don Callis brings up Chuck Taylor’s Ironman hot dog challenge, which he admits he’s looking forward to it if only for how Jim Cornette put it over. Queen of the Ring Tournament – round of 16 Karen Sato vs Victoria The former translator/right hand of Kana back when she ruled over the women’s division has returned, this time on her own. Kana returned at a live event, teaming up with Lufisto. Karen touched on this in one of those late-80s style split screen promos during her entrance, but she’s fine with that and is looking forward to showing them both Kana only lasted as long as she did at the top was because of her. She’s talking a big game, but she’s up against the veteran Victoria, who recently made her return. Karen fights more of a defence style early on, in hopes Victoria makes a mistake that she can capitalize on. For the most part Victoria sticks to her game plan that brought her previous success. While Victoria was clearly the more experienced of the two, Karen reversed an irish whip attempt into a hammerlock reverse ddt. That looked to be as close as she would get as the follow up pin attempt resulted in only a two count, and not long after the kickout Victoria managed to regain the advantage and set up for the window’s peak. Just before Victoria could execute the move, Karen managed to slip free. Before Victoria could re-grab her, Karen got to her first and rolled her up with a small package. Karen holds on just long enough to pick up the count of three from referee Amy Kanazki. Victoria doesn’t agree with the count and questions the official about it as Karen returns backstage. A replay of the pin shows for those watching at home, and it was a close call, but it was the correct one. It’s revealed Karen will face the winner of Kris Wolf and Martina, in the first round of the pay per view portion of the tournament. Eric Bischoff has a rare quite moment in his office when he has an unexpected visitor, but it’s a welcomed one as Trish Stratus enters. She wants to ask Bischoff about the decision to have the women’s championship defended in a ladder match, which was announced a few days ago, having concerns about it. Bischoff mentions it was not an easy decision to make, adding in fact the ladder match stipulation was one that was mutually agreed upon. After all they went the distance at Starcade, and their tournament qualifier didn’t resolve anything, this left them with limited options. Trish feels bad that the two’s competitiveness has caused a rift in what seemed to be an unbreakable friendship. Bischoff agrees that it is never a good thing when partnerships end, and maybe there’s a chance whatever jealousy or inflated egos will be tamed, which if that were to happen at the first least he knows it wouldn’t be in vain, believing they will not only continue to do what they’ve done as of late, but continue something Trish herself started years ago, and that’s raise the bar for the women of the sport. He asks Trish if she’s seen EPW programming lately. He mentions while the talent depth is at an all time high in North America, which wrestlers form across the globe come to challenge the best XCW has to offer, they’re making a lot of noise across the pond. Trish agrees that the game has changed tremendously since she began her in-ring career, and it is good to see the level of competition be stronger than it’s ever been. But she wonders if the drive and desire to not only be the best and to keep topping yourself will come at too high of a cost to keep up. Trish leaves the office after saying her piece. Back at the table Jim Ross and Don Callis are in agreement with everything that Bischoff said, but Don Callis mentions what has now become a civil war of sort between the two Oedo Tai members, will this ladder match resolve their differences, or is it just the beginning of something more? Tye Dillinger approaches Bobby Roode in the locker room area as the former Canadian National Champion is preparing for tonight’s rematch, which also involves Dillinger. Both are aware that the odds of Watts escaping with the title are less, which Roode knows Dillinger does not want to go through that again, making reference to Watt’s low blow on him. Dillinger mentions that they still have to keep an eye out for James R. Kennedy. Roode’s aware of that, but he doesn’t seem worried. If given the opportunity, Roode wants it to come down between the two of them. Roode knows Dillinger wants this just has bad as he does. Dillinger mentions that great minds think alike, and that he’ll see him out there. Back to live action and Team WCW makes their entrance to the old Thunder on TBS theme as Tommy Thunder and Nick Nitro are set for action. Don Callis comments he had a feeling they wouldn’t be gone for long. Their opponents this evening, former tag team champions and pride of Minnesota, Ryan Adams and Jerry Perry. Since James R. Kennedy departure following his previous run, the two found new guidance under ‘Coach’ Hayden Nelson. While they have yet to make as much noise as they once did, they’re not out of the title hunt just yet, and a win here would for sure move them up the rankings. Nick Nitro and Tommy Thunder vs Jared Perry and Ryan Adams w/Hayden Nelson As the bout progresses, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are shown watching from backstage. Shelley will be part of the battle royal main event later tonight, but as both holders of the tag team titles, it doesn’t hurt to keep an eye on potential challengers. For the most part, referee Jimmy Korderas is hard on his double team five count, though eventually all four men are in the ring. It looks like he might throw the match out, but the ring gets a little bit less crowded as Thunder gets sent over the top rope. Adams returns to his teams’s corner, but quickly tags in as Nitro goes up on Perry’s shoulders. Clothesling off the top connects, down goes Nitro. Adams with the pin, this one’s over. Before the show goes to commercial break, Rob Rage is shown in the locker room area, preparing for his championship rematch, which will be in a battle royal. Rage is using a nearby wall as a punching bag, firing himself up even more for this one. When the show returns we hear from man that beat Rage earlier tonight, Chris Jericho. He’s backstage in the interview area, but this one is being conducted by Jim Ross and Don Callis from ringside. They congratulate Jericho on the win, but ask him what’s going through his mind as he has to defend the gold so soon after winning it. Normally that is something that might cause concern, but he didn’t need long to beat Rage, plus as we know Jericho Jericho can win back-to-back title matches in the same night, which the last time he did that he became the undisputed world champion, an achievement that nobody can take away from him. As far as tonight goes, it doesn’t matter if it’s Rage, Rage plus 8 others, plus 80, plus 800 for all he cares, he knows the numbers are against him, but he’s been there before,. He’s use to having a larger than normal target on his chest, he welcomes it however. Don Callis asks if his game plan would differ if the rest of the field wasn’t announced earlier by Bischoff, which Jericho mentions while it doesn’t hurt to know, as champion one must be prepared for the unexpected. After all this XCW, where the unexpected can become reality. If you look at some of the past name who have been in Jericho’s position as champion, you see guys who you’d expect to be at the top, plus some who got the chance to live the dream that nobody thought could be possible. Jim Ross mentions one underdog in this fight is Heath Slater, given the rules of the match does Jericho think someone like Heath Slater could pull off an upset tonight, which Jericho responds he’s seen crazier things happen, plus Slater’s been making some noise lately in the tag division, so Jericho knows Slater, nor anyone else in this match, should be taken lightly. Jericho mentions it’s been a long road to once again possess the championship, and while he doesn’t want to be captain obvious, he’s not giving it up without a fight. Both announcers wish him good luck to end the segment. Once that ends they send it outside where the Ironman Championship is about to be defended in what some may call, typical American fashion. Outside the arena we go to Chuck Taylor’s Ironman hot dog challenge where Hutch Henries reminds us that whoever consumes the most hot dogs in three minutes will win the Ironman Championship. As he mentions this is appears that Sami Zayn and Kevin Steen have a side bet going, in addition to the main competition. At the halfway mark things appear to be close between Jeff Hardy and Taylor, which Rusev not far behind them. With one minute to go Steen picks up the pace, while Taylor shows signs of slowing down. The only hope Jeremy Dunn and Veda Scott have is everyone else pukes. As Taylor attempts to force the meat down with under 20 seconds to go, Matt Hardy appears out of know where and grabs Taylor and gives him the twist of fate. Matt pins Taylor, referee Chris Truax is present and counts the pin. Taylor can’t kickout in time and Matt wins the Ironman title. Just seconds after that the contest that was going on has its time expire, and it appears that Kevin Steen has won. He soon finds out that Matt Hardy spoiled things by attacking Chuck Taylor and using the 24/7 rule to legally steal the belt right out from under him. Steen’s not pleased by this, and neither is Jeff Hardy, who tells Matt to stay out of his business. For once, Steen and a Hardy have common ground. Matt goes to stay something in response, until Steen squirts some mustard on him. Matt feels insulted by that gesture, stating he strongly dislikes mustard. “In that case, have some more” Jeff declares before pouring an entire jar of mustard over Matt’s head. Steen wipes some off Matt’s shirt before eating another dog before commenting “Not bad, could use some ketchup though.” Matt loses it and strikes Steen before doing the same and focusing his attention on Jeff. Veda Scott feels it’s best to leave the scene, as does Jeremy Dunn, under the advice of Jim Cornette. Everyone else that is standing gets caught up in a melee. Jeff manages to assist Steen in getting Matt on a table so Steen can execute a package piledriver, driving Matt through the table. Jeff once again tells Matt to stay out of his business, business, before taking off. Steen tells Matt not to waste perfectly good mustard before doing the same. Chuck Taylor notices Matt laying out in the open and goes to pin him, but he’s tossed out of the way by Zack Ryder. Ryder pins Matt for a three count, and he fleas the scene as the new Ironman Champion. Canadian National Championship Nick Watts (c) w/James R. Kennedy vs Tye Dillinger vs Bobby Roode As warned last week, if Nick Watt uses a low blow he will be stripped of the title. The opportunity presented itself once, and it looked like he might do it anyway, but Kennedy managed to stop him in time from doing so, reminding him of what would happen if he went through with it. Close call there, but that gave Roode an opening to connect with his glorious ddt. Dillinger managed to break up the pin in time and after a brief exchange Dillinger knocked Roode to the outside. Watts staggers back to his feet. Dillinger’s waiting for him and connects with a tye breaker. Perfect execution by Dillinger as he goes for the cover…we have one…we have two...Kennedy breaks up the pin. Referee Eddington James calls for the bell, Dillinger is ruled the winner by disqualification. Roode gets back in the ring and both he and Dillinger have Kennedy cornered. Kennedy tries to beg off. The two are about to give it to him when they are stopped by Eric Bischoff, who appears on the video screen from his office. He tells Dillinger and Roode to hold on. Bischoff has a feeling that we might not see a clean conclusion, noticing how crafty Kennedy is. Bischoff does have an idea however. At the upcoming Queen of the Ring tournament, there will be another rematch as part of the non-tournament action, where once again Nick Watts will face Tye Dillinger and Bobby Roode. This time however both the Internet and Canadian National titles will be on the line, and he has a warning for both Watts and Kennedy. If Kennedy interferes at all, he will be locked in a cage and hung above the ring…but that’s not all. Once the match ends and he is freed from the cage, both he and Watts will begin serving a 90-day suspension. Watts and Kennedy argue the ruling, but Bischoff reminds them that he is the president and general manager of the company, and if they don’t like then he wants a letter of resignation on his desk within the hour. Bischoff permits Roode and Dillinger to proceed with their business, and with that being said they grab Kennedy and send him over the top rope, taking out Watts in the process. Watts pulls his manager from the ring, which Dillinger almost wouldn't let him do that, but Roode convinced Dillinger to let them go, for now. Before the show takes it's final commercial break of the evening, Jim Cornette is shown with Jack Swagger as they head towards the gorilla position for the main event. Cornette's hyping Swagger up as Jericho's newly won championship will be on the line momentarily. When the show returns, the bracket for the upcoming Queen of the Ring tournament is shown. Karen Sato scored an upset win over Victoria earlier tonight to advance to the quarter finals. Natalya earned her spot as current reigning and defending Queen of the Ring, and she'll face the winner of Charlotte and IWF competitor Michelle Von Parker. Those two will faceoff at an upcoming IWF event later this month. World Heavyweight Championship Rob Rage vs Chris Jericho (c) vs Jack Swagger w/Jim Cornette vs Brian Kendrick vs Heath Slater vs Goldust vs Damien Sandow vs D-von Dudley vs Akuma vs Alex Shelley With the exception of Rage, every challenger in the bout is American, and while a handful of competitors are regulars in the tag division, they are so without their respective partners. D-Von is the first to be eliminated about a minute in as Kendrick and Slater pair up to send him over the top rope. They then try the same with Rage, but Rage fights them off with little trouble. Shelley is next to be sent packing, courtesy of Jack Swagger. Slater and Goldust exchange holds, which could have been broken up by Sandow, but Sandow opted to target Brian Kendrick instead. Goldust was almost eliminated at the hands of Slater, but he managed to hold on to the ropes after going over, and when Slater went to finish him off, Slater was the one who would take the fall. Goldust stepped back through the ropes, though Akuma was there to great him. Rage shoved Goldust away and picked up Akuma, lifting him over his head before throwing him out with authority. Rage focused on Goldust, which Sandow joined in on it. Surprisingly, Rage was fine with Sandow’s involvement in wearing down Goldust. Meanwhile Kendrick got sent over the ropes by Jericho, but Kendrick held on. Before he could step back inside, Jericho caught him with a springboard dropkick, sending Kendrick to the outside. Swagger looked to catch Jericho with his attention on Kendrick’s elimination, but Jericho noticed him at the last seconded and assisted Swagger’s forward momentum in sending him to the floor. It’s down to Jericho, Rage, Sandow, and Goldust, though just seconds after it gets down to the final four Sandow is eliminated by Goldust. Rage attacks Goldust from behind after the elimination. With the Supernova of Superstars focusing his attention on the bizarre one, Jericho gets some valuable recovery time, having been double teamed by Rage and Sandow moments ago. Jericho eventually finds his footing and it looks like he is about to help Goldust, however that doesn’t happen as The Miz slides in and tosses Jericho over the top rope. As unfortunate for Jericho that is, that means we will have a new champion once this one is in the books. The Miz slowly heads backstage, but gives Jericho some words as he does so. Jericho realizes what happened and gets back to his feet and goes after Miz. Miz sees him coming and stays to fight. They end up taking their fight behind the curtain, which we last see Miz introducing Jericho to part of the stage before backstage official come out to separate them. Back in the ring, Rage is taking his time with Goldust, mocking Goldust with his own inhale gesture before continuing to lay the boot into him. After some more trash talk, Rage sets up for the spear. Goldust is slow to get back to his feet, but that doesn’t bother Rage. Rage rushes once Goldust is in a position his likes. At the last possible moment Goldust manages to trip up Rage, causing him to land face first on the canvas. Second wind for Goldust as he unloads on Rage with repeated strikes as Rage crawls to the corner to pull himself up. Goldust continues the offence and manages to connect with a few shoulder strikes before going up for the ten punches. He got all of it. T he crowd’s behind Goldust as he positions Rage’s legs on the ropes and backs up. The people know what’s coming, and it looks like Rage does too. They’re all correct as it’s shattered dreams for Rage. Don Callis comments that it doesn’t matter how strong you are, a shot like that would floor anybody. Goldust looks like he’s sizing up Rage for something bit as Rage’s discomfort can be heard even in the upper section of the arena. Goldust moves in as Rage tries to pull himself up by way of the ropes. Goldust slows his approach, as if he’s about to change his mind with what he was going for. Rage is back on his feet, but still reacting to the shot downstairs. He turns around and catches a bionic elbow, and another one, and another one. The third one sends Rage over the top rope, but Rage manages to hold on to avoid falling to the floor. Rage is still feeling discomfort downstairs as he tries to pull himself closer to the ropes. He manages to do so, but before he can step back through the ropes Goldust connects with a running bionic elbow, sending Rage to the floor. Don Callis can’t believe what just happened as Goldust is announced as the winner and the new heavyweight champion of the world. Jim Ross comments after the announcement is made “People talk about living the American dream, right here tonight Goldust is living the American dream, and somewhere the American Dream Dusty Rhodes is watching with a smile on his face.” Rage has had enough for today as he retreats backstage. Seconds after Rage disappears behind the curtain, the theme belonging to AJ Styles plays. AJ Styles comes through the curtain, and he has the golden ticket briefcase with him. He looks towards the ring before looking at the briefcase. Styles sets the briefcase down on the stage before making his way to the ring. Styles calls for a mic and explains when he heard about the battle royal, he knew he had a golden opportunity to go for the championship once it concluded. However, for all that Goldust has been through in his career, all the good and all the bad, for everything in his career that has caused issues with his family, out of respect for the man behind the face paint, Styles will not ruin a moment that the man standing in front of him has worked so hard and sacrificed so much that not only did he rightfully earn, but one he rightfully deserves. Styles informs Goldust “The day will come when I come knocking. When… that’s for me to know, and for you to find out…but tonight is not that night. Tonight…is your night.” Styles offers his hand to the new champion. It takes a moment for everything that was said to sink in before he accepts the gesture. Styles raises the arm of Goldust before backing away. As Styles heads back up the runway he gets a 'You deserve it' chant going for the new champion. The fans giving their appreciation for Goldust in his moment closes the show. |

- Wow. Was gutted to see Rob Rage lose the title in such fashion. Part of me doesn't think Jericho is leaving with the gold though. - Interested to see whether Coach Hayden Nelson will be a good enough replacement for James R. Kennedy. - Still hoping Bobby Roode comes out victorious (and glorious) from this whole situation with Nick Watts. - Did not expect for Goldust to win at all. Possibly a change to Dustin Rhodes rather than Goldust now he is champ for a more serious approach though? |

- Jericho's win at the start of the show was really weird. It was shocking, to say the least, but seemed like a bit of "ECW-style" crash booking. I wasn't a huge fan of the title change happening so abruptly, and the 10-man battle royale being Rage's rematch makes him look a bit foolish, rather than "bad ass" as the booking may have tried to make him look. Also, I thought Jericho was a face (after his Miz angle) - is he heel now? - Jim Cornette being a SUPPORTER of the Ironman title is REALLY weird. Cornette is such an advocate of pure wrestling, this seems out of character to me. - Trish's segment was odd because there was never a mention as to who her opponent actually was. The segment assumed we knew everything going in - and I didn't - would've been nice to get clued in! Though a ladder match between two people who keep going back and forth makes sense - it's one of the few matches that rarely can have a draw. Trish as this "grizzled veteran" face is odd to me - and having such pleasantries with Bischoff was weird. I guess I'm just used to heel Trish or "sassy" face Trish. This new version of her is hard to swallow, but I'll give it time. (Also, this EPW/XCW stuff is a bit confusing - is there going to be a cross-promotional show or something?)- Is Tye doing the perfect 10 gimmick in XCW? I'd love to see the guy start doing some more arrogant things in backstage segments. His interaction with Roode came off a bit "WWE cookie cutter" esque. And both of those guys are very charismatic when given the right material. - Watts/Dillinger/Roode is a solid midcard feud. I'm a little confused by the suspension though - what happens if Watts wins? Does he just have the gold for 3 months? - Goldust winning the title was something I didn't see coming. Goldust hasn't really been a focus in XCW, so I'm interested to see how you book him as a Main Eventer believably and quickly. Styles vs. Goldust is an odd pairing as well. But, it's different and worth giving a shot. I'm interested to see if Goldust just becomes Dustin Rhodes - because Goldust as a champion can likely work if he starts pulling off his 90s "homo-erotic" mind games, but as a face - I can't see Goldust as believable as a World Champion right now. Perhaps, XCW will change that opinion, though! Hell...EPW changed my opinion on an entire booking style - so I think XCW may have the reigns to do the same to me. |
